Hi all who said Hi to me, and hi to all that are like me and want people to say hi to them, but are not begging for the attention that I was. OK, got it, cool, lets move on.
I noticed some talk of NKOTB earlier, let me just say for all of you fans and closet fans, that while in High School, (Bishop Kearney, Go Tigers!) My school won a contest by a local radio station 95.5 W P L J (NYC for those not in the know). Anyway, we won this contest that included free tickets for the entire school to see the show in concert at Madison Square Garden. I believe this was 88/89 school year. I was soooooooooo not into NKOTB. I was with the hard rock crowd.
But I digress, they had this system for handing out your two free tickets. All you had to do was show up to a table in the lobby during the day and show your school id card. That was it. They didn't scratch your name off of a list, didn't write your name down, nothing. So, being the enterprising young middle child that I was with no spare money, I went back and got several sets of tickets, which i subsequently sold. To kids form other schools who had been part of this fierce competition. Mostly Catholic schools because hey, they are private schools and back in Brooklyn, they were segregated girls and boys schools. Because you know we all had those bubbling hormones (as my Mom would say) and wouldn't be able to concentrate in school otherwise. Anyway my school of 1500 all girls clearly had the power to compete in this contest of postcard writing and we won.
So, I sold a few sets of tickets, and quickly spent my money on a cool, happening cassette walkman and a few tapes. I know, how cool am I. Don't answer that, that is a rhetorical question. I don't think I really could handle the answers you all would come up with
